Yes, they must do that. Also they all will wait a period, which is
specified in CTS frame, which should be emitted by R1 in response to
RTS frame received from S11.

In accordance to standard, RTS/CTS frames must be processed by each
station, which hear these frames, regardless of BSS.

This is quite simplified description, see section 9.3.2.4 in IEEE
802.11-2012 for more details.
